Choice and Real Life Product

Abstract: In the lab that was conducted, students were supposed to examine the tendencies of fruit flies, specifically Drosophila’s, to move toward or away from important stimuli that aide in their survival, also known as taxis. Another objective for this lab was to identify the patterns and relationships between environmental factors and a living organism. Students are supposed to use two bottles to allow the flies to choose which side they want to go to, depending on what substances they are attracted to more. Fruit flies are not attracted to fruits; rather they are attracted to the rotting fruit.

Problem: In this lab, students are studying the behavior of animals, ethology, and the factors that contribute to the way they behave. Do certain environmental factors behave as a stimulus to animals?

Hypothesis:
If the fruit flies were given choices on which substance they are most attracted to, they there wouldn’t be any preference to any over the other.

Materials & Procedures: Material: In this experiment, the we used: tape, 2 water bottles, scissors, 6 different cotton balls, 1 chamber, about 20 fruit flies, water, lime water, banana, vanilla extract, and ammonia. Procedure: Cut the bottom ends off of two water bottles, and tape them together. I labeled each cap with letter “A” and “B.” I then inserted the fruit flies in through one end. For each new substance, we dropped a few drops of it onto the cotton balls. We observed the fruit flies for about 5 minutes, undisturbed, and then counted the flies at each end. We repeated these stepped for each new substance being exposed to the flies.

...would go so terribly wrong and have such a significant impact in my life. A few friends and I decided to go to a party after we had finished up at a rodeo back in my hometown. Although we had only been there about an hour, we had all drank way too much to operate a vehicle. That fact however, never crossed any of our minds and of course we all loaded up into my pickup and began to head back to one of my friends house to stay for the night. Long story short, I ended up having a very unlucky drive and I ended my night with a DUI under my belt.
This decision made a huge impact on me and many others I am close with. Although at the time it seemed like the worst possible thing that could have happened to me, It ended up teaching me the most beneficial life lesson I have ever experienced. It was not a fun process at all of course. Paying fines, being arrested, and having to attend court are never anything someone would personally choose to deal with. I however ended up turning my life completely around from there on out. I now am much better off now as far as being the best individual I can be. It goes to show that sometimes bad decisions can end up being good life lessons.

...a psalm of life
A Psalm of Life | |
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
|
What the Heart of the Young Man Said to the Psalmist Tell me not, in mournful numbers, "Life is but an empty dream!" For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; "Dust thou art, to dust returnest," Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Finds us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,--act in the living Present! Heart within, and God...

Critical Lens Essay
“The difficulty in life is the choice… the wrong way always seems the more reasonable.” What this quote is trying to tell us is that when you go through life and you have to make a decision sometimes you end up choosing the wrong way instead of the right way because that always seems more right to our liking so that’s what we end up doing. We as a society today can be very lazy and sometimes don’t feel like doing much of anything so when it comes down to a predicament when you have to choose between something we always just go for the easiest way which happens to be the wrong way. I agree with this statement because it’s basically true. If we’re given a choice we always seem to find a way to cut corners and take the easy way out. The novel “Of mice and men” relates to this quote because of how Lennie depends on George so he can do the right things. Because Lennie does have a mind of his on but he just does whatever and George is always there for him to correct his mistakes in all that he does.
For example, George’s relationship with Lennie is much more complicated than Lennie’s relationship with George because it’s like George doesn’t mean to get angry with him and when he does he has to apologize for it or do something so he can show Lennie that he didn’t mean anything by it because Lennie takes George very seriously. In the novel...

...﻿ The choices we make build our future and guide our lives. Each choice that we decide on has an impact on our life whether it is good or bad. Through past experiences, some of the choices I have made have had unfortunate consequences. It is decisions like such, which we learn from and grow as individuals. However, many choices have rewarding and satisfying outcomes nonetheless. Most of our choices will affect not only us but often those around us as well. Because of the potential impact that choices can have on others surrounding us, it is important that we make certain decisions with great care and think through them thoroughly. The decision to make choices by the assistance of peer pressure has impacted the young adults during the 20th century substantially. Though many teenagers are excited to have the independence of making decisions, they often don’t do it without an opinion or two from friends. All decisions have their positive and negative facts however it is how you choose to deal with them that will determine how you handle everyday situations.
Though the outcome most choices can be encouraging and positive, there are specific choices that are not. Many people become discouraged, embarrassed, and upset with the result of their choice but decide to learn from the situation instead of wallow in it. As...

Starbucks started as small coffee shop in a tourist area called Pikes Place Market in Seattle. The three unknown pioneer of Starbucks wanted to share their passion for brewed coffee and tea. During their first year in the business, they experimented with all sorts of coffee blend until they came up with their own flavor.

"No woman wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg."
Frederica Mathewes-Green
In a perfect world, every pregnancy would be considered an utmost blessing. In a perfect world, every birth would involve a healthy, beautiful baby-born to absurdly giddy, loving parents- with the promise of basic needs met and creature comforts strived for. In a perfect world, there would be no such thing as an unwanted pregnancy or the hell of having to make the decision whether or not to terminate.
Although the opposing sides will likely never be in agreement on the morality of abortion, both sides can surely agree that the world isn’t perfect and that, consequently, not every pregnancy can be cause for joy and happiness. Regardless of where our moral compass points on the issue of abortion, the fact remains that an estimated 40-50 million abortions take place worldwide each year and nearly half of them are illegal, unsafe procedures that result in severe disability and even death. Accordingly, in 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled 7–2 that a right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion. Some pro-life proponents bitterly objected to the landmark decision, known as Roe v Wade, as if they felt the ruling had “invented...

What energy resources do you currently rely on in your everyday life?
On the daily basis I use numerous energy resources from residential, commercial, transportation to industrial. First, I use residential and commercial the most. At home I have gas heating, stove and fireplace; gas pretty much runs my house. Right now in the winter month’s gas heating is the greatest energy usages in my resident. Then on top of that we have space heaters. The heaters are intended to cut back on the gas usage but I’m not seeing much of a difference. Usage of electricity is also a huge abundance in my residents. A normal routine of using electricity varies from everything like lights computers, television, tablets and cell phones. There’s is not a day my family and I are not using energy as electricity.
